1875年,因日本侵台事件的发生,引发了中国国内政坛著名的“第一次海防大筹议”。由此中国才开始了建立近代海军的尝试,各派各色历史人物也开始纷纷登场,形成了激烈的矛盾冲突。在最初的十年中,海军建设缓慢。1885年前后的中法战争中,福建水师几乎全军覆灭,海防问题再次提到议事日程上来。经过“第二次海防大筹议”,中国近代海军的建设步伐终于加快,到1888年,北洋海军正式成军。这支军队拥有相当高的近代化水平,总吨位在世界名列第四,在亚洲名列第一,其大部分军舰的主官接受过严格的欧式海军教育。但这支军队本身也蕴涵了不可克服的矛盾……1894年,中日甲午战争爆发,北洋海军惨败,中国被迫与日本签定丧权辱国的《马关条约》。一场中国近代军事变革以失败告终,也宣告了洋务运动的彻底破产,给后人留下了沉重的伤痛和严肃的课题。
In 1875, Japan’s invasion of Taiwan led to the famous “first large-scale coastal defense” in China’s political arena. As a result, China started its attempt to establish a modern navy. Different historical figures of various parties also began to debut in succession, creating a fierce contradiction and conflict. In the first decade, the Navy was slow to build itself. In the Sino-French War around 1885, the Fujian Navy almost destroyed the entire army and the issue of coastal defense was again brought to the agenda. After “the second large-scale prevention of coastal defense”, the pace of building China’s navy finally accelerated. By 1888, the Northern navy officially entered the military. This army has a very high level of modernization. The total tonnage ranks fourth in the world and the highest in Asia. Most of the warships’ masters have undergone strict European naval education. However, this army itself also contains insurmountable contradictions ... In 1894, when the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War broke out, the Northern Navy defeat, and China was forced to sign a Treaty of Shimonoseki with Japan for humiliation and shame. A failure of military reform in modern China ended in failure. It also declared the complete bankruptcy of the Westernization Movement, leaving heavy scars and serious issues for future generations.
